  • Direct Interactions: When you create an account, purchase seminars/products, subscribe to our newsletter (Soul Shifting, Sacred Connecting), fill out a support ticket, or communicate with us by email or social media.

  • Automated Technologies: As you interact with our website, we automatically collect Technical Data and Tracking Data using cookies, server logs, and tracking pixels.

  • Third Parties and Advertising Networks: We receive analytical and tracking data from third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) and social advertising networks (such as Meta Platforms, Inc.).

4. Legal Bases for Processing Under EU/UK GDPR

We will only process your personal data when the law allows us to. Under EU/UK GDPR, our primary legal bases are:

  1. Performance of Contract: Processing necessary to deliver purchased seminars, courses, coaching, or digital products.

  2. Consent: Where you have explicitly opted in (e.g., subscribing to newsletters or accepting advertising cookies/Meta Pixels on our website).

  3. Legitimate Interests: Where necessary for our business operations (e.g., website security, fraud prevention, business analytics, and improving service delivery), provided your fundamental rights do not override those interests.

  4. Legal Obligation: Where required to comply with statutory accounting, tax, or legal requirements.

5. Cookies, Retargeting, and Meta Advertising Disclosures

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking tools to maintain website functionality, analyze usage, and support our marketing efforts.

Meta Pixel & Online Behavioral Advertising

We use marketing tools provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland), including the Meta Pixel and Conversions API.

  • How it Works: These tools allow us to track user actions after viewing or clicking a Meta advertisement, perform conversion tracking, create custom audience targeting, and deliver retargeted ads to visitors on Facebook and Instagram.

  • Data Processing: Technical identifiers, IP address, browser information, and on-site actions (such as viewing a seminar page or adding a product to cart) are transmitted to Meta.

  • Joint Controllership Notice: For certain features (such as custom audiences created from website visits), Espavo and Meta Ireland act as Joint Controllers under EU GDPR. Meta processes this data to serve targeted advertising and improve its advertising products.

  • Managing Meta Preferences: You can control or turn off personalized ads directly within your Meta account settings by visiting Meta Ad Preferences.

Managing Cookies

When you first visit our site, you are presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or decline advertising and non-essential cookies. You can also adjust your browser settings to decline all or some cookies. If you disable essential cookies, portions of our website or membership portal may not function correctly.

6. International Data Transfers

Espavo is located in the United States. Personal data collected from EU/EEA or UK residents will be transferred to, stored, and processed outside the European Economic Area.

Whenever we transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are implemented in compliance with Chapter V of the GDPR:

  • Transfers to entities operating under recognized data privacy frameworks or framework agreements.

  • Execution of European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or UK Addendum provisions with third-party service providers (e.g., email service providers, hosting facilities, payment gateways, and advertising networks).

7. Disclosures of Your Personal Data

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. We share your personal data only with trusted service providers acting as processors or joint controllers, including:

  • Payment Processors: PCI-compliant payment gateways (e.g., PayPal) to handle payments securely. We do not store full credit card account numbers (PAN).

  • Technical Infrastructure & Hosting Providers: Cloud hosting, IT security, and database management tools.

  • Marketing & Communication Tools: Email distribution platforms used to manage newsletter lists and customer support desk tools.

  • Advertising & Analytics Platforms: Providers such as Meta Platforms, Inc. and Google LLC.

  • Professional Advisers & Regulatory Authorities: Accountants, legal counsel, auditors, and law enforcement agencies when legally required.

8. Data Security and Data Retention

Security

We have put in place technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Access to your personal data is limited strictly to authorized personnel and processors who operate under strict confidentiality obligations.

Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, tax, accounting, and reporting obligations. By tax law, basic financial and transactional records must be retained for at least 6 years after transaction completion.
